In total 11 teams with 79 cyclists participated in the Tour of Estonia 2017.

Race director Indrek Kelk was happy with the weekend, especially with the safety aspect in the Rattaralli. „The most important thing is that the amount of people, who asked help from medical service, is smaller than last year. It shows that people are turning more attention to riding safely,“ said Kelk.
